Simpsons Movie: 2 out of 4 Stars


A movie review by:




Andrew Vigeant



Homer's craving for food really is a turn-off isn't it? Well basically this whole concept of this movie is, but that didnt stop anybody from making it. Springfield orders a clean up of polluted Lake Springfield and bans all waste dumps there. Predictably, Homer Simpson dumps a silo of Pig Crap in it, he screws up his family's, his friend's, and the rest of Springfield's lives. Yeah...not a great plot....who woulda guessed?

The great thing about this review is that the is no acting to talk about, so I don't have to type all that out.

Let's get the good things about this movie out of the way first, so we can talk about the retardedness. The characters all looked great, surprisingly, and their was no real goofs or anything at all. It was just like a newer simpsons episode. The voice over and lip synchronization was perfectly done, and that too surprised me. It was hilarious just like the regular simpsons episodes on t.v. That's pretty much aabout it....oh and I love the simpsons, and it was just like watching a 90 minute simpsons episode...

Everything considered, though, I don't know what the hell David Silverman was thinking. Let alone a lot of the world was thinking when they payed $9 to see a 90 minute long simpsons episode. Yes it was funny. Yes it was the classic simpsons. Yes you can just watch it online. Their was such a retarded plot, and after all is said and done......you feel nothing. You feel cheated and violated that you payed $9 to see a movie with some laughs in it. You get that familiar bad taste in your mouth and you turn to the person next to you and yell "WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING?" He will either say: "What did you expect?" or "I liked it". If it was the latter I know you want to punch him, so..just do so nobody will see. The only reason this movie beats Rush Hour 3 and Superbad in the rating is because it actually exceeded me expectations and I love the Simpsons. Overall I can't recommend this film.
